I Stalk Strangers Online

Software engineers and other highly sought-after talent: you can run, but you can't hide. Employers will go to great lengths to find in-demand talent; that's where I come in. Armed with a few search engine commands, tenacity and a telephone, I can find anyone.

I'll show you how we do it.
